Active Travel Reviews 

Wir hatten eine großartige Tour zu den beiden Schlössern Peles und Cantacuzino. Unser Guide Charlie hat uns pünktlich am Hotel abgeholt und uns durch die beiden Schlösser geführt. Er hat uns viele Informationen gegeben,auch zu anderen Themen,die uns interessierten. Charlie ist ein super netter und lustiger Guide. Gerne wieder!

The meet up was easy and punctual and there was communication before to make sure we had bought castle tickets online to avoid being disappointed by quotas. Dan the guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything and the activity includes a personal walk thru the castles so you get the best experience. The group was just Dan, myself and another couple which helped make it feel relaxed and personal. There was lots of general conversation and laughter between locations. Every castle is totally different so no fear of seeing the same thing multiple times. I learnt so much about Romanian history including links to the UK

We took a private tour of Rupea Fortress, Sighisoara Town, and Viscri Church with Charlie. The experience was truly amazing, featuring spectacular scenery and impressive historical sites. Charlie was attentive and displayed a genuine passion for his work. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour!

I booked this day hike with Active Travel Brașov. Communication over WhatsApp was timely and clear.
My guide was Bogdan. Bogdan knows the mountains around Brașov inside out. A great motivater, philosopher and positive individual. Highly recommended.

I went on two tours with this company while in Brasov (castles and medieval villages). Both were great and the guides ensured everyone had a good time. Can't fault this company and would definitely use again if back in the area.

Une très belle expérience avec Active Travel au bureau on nous a tout expliqué et trouvé un guide pour une randonnée le lendemain. Et notre randonnée était très intéressante, beaux paysages, guide très professionnel et attentif. Bref, à recommander 5/5

Our experience was great. The weather was quite adverse, but the trail was worth the wetting. Bogdan is a wonderful guide, who loves the mountain and gave us lots of information, a very entertaining conversation. Landscape is breathtakingly beautiful.

Short walk up to the hide and we were lucky enough to see 2 bears immediately. The bears soon disappeared and didn’t see any more for 1 and half hours. In the final 45 we saw 4 different bears. They were definitely worth the wait and our guide was great. Very informative and dropped us off in the old town square because it was easier for us.

Un viaggio semplicemente straordinario, che porterò con me per molto tempo. Ogni dettaglio del tour è stato curato con passione e professionalità: l’organizzazione impeccabile, i tempi perfetti, e soprattutto Charlie — una guida eccezionale, capace di trasformare ogni racconto in un’emozione viva.
Charlie non è stato solo una guida, ma un vero compagno di viaggio: coinvolgente, preparato e con un’energia contagiosa. Abbiamo esplorato luoghi di una bellezza travolgente, scoperto storie affascinanti e vissuto momenti che sembravano usciti da un sogno.
Abbiamo camminato tra bellezza e memoria, ascoltato il respiro del tempo, lasciandoci toccare da qualcosa di raro.
Un’esperienza intensa, che rimane dentro e continua a vibrare anche dopo la fine del viaggio.

Grazie di cuore, Charlie, per aver reso tutto così speciale!

Abbiamo prenotato una escursione per vedere gli orsi nel loro habitat naturale. Il gruppo è ristretto e la guida un ricercatore molto preparato sul mondo degli orsi. Consigliatissimi! Abbiamo visto 3 orsi e varie volpi.

the experience was super exciting and super educational.
i was very happy with the experience.
it is very admirable how the guide managed to convey the respect and love for bears and in general for wild animals and their natural environment.
He managed to convey a lot of passion for what he does.
We saw 4 Bears and 2 fox

Tibby was an amazing tour guide. He was passionate and knowledgeable and clearly cared about everything he spoke about. We were well looked after and he went out of his way for photo stops and bathrooms! He took us to a great restaurant in visci which we would never have found on our own.

I had a great experience with our guide Charlie from Active Travel today. He was friendly, professional, informative, funny - and a very good, safe driver. I cannot think of any way he could have made our tour today better. My highest compliments to Charlie and to Active Travel.

My girlfriend and I, we took the tour that included Peļes Castle, Bran Castle and Rasnov Fortress.We had Mr. Tiberiu as our guide, a knowledgeable and polite gentleman who made us feel at ease, and the time limits were properly respected.

The tour was really fun and exciting.
Our tour guide Charlie was just amazing !
He was like our friend!

The tour was amazing, and so was our guide Charlie. We got to Pelés castle nice and early so we beat all the crowds. Charlie even waited in line for us while we enjoyed a coffee and pastry at the cafe so we could be first in line. We stopped at a Romanian restaurant for lunch, food was great and inexpensive. Bran castle was also very cool and Charlie gave us information in every room. The fortress was closed but we were able to walk around to get a nice view point over the city. On the way back to Brasov we also stopped at another view point over Brasov to take some photos. Overall the day was great, perfect itinerary, great timing at each place (we didn’t feel rushed at all), and the small group size was a plus. And most importantly the guide was great! He was very knowledgeable about each location and all the places we drove through and gave us lots of recommendations and answered any questions we had. 10/10 would recommend! A highlight of my trip!

Very good guide

Charlie was a fabulous guide sharing fascinating history of Transylvania. He was accommodating to every request and question we had and offered so many wonderful suggestions for our trip. I wholeheartedly recommend Active Tours and especially Charlie for your Transylvania trip!

Very scenic walks across the Carpathian mountains, both forest and villages

A fantastic day with our guide Triberiu…. So knowledgeable about Romanian history - he made the trips to Bran Castle, the Fortress and Peles Caste come to life - learning about the background development of each of them. Thank you so much for a truly memorable day!! Highly recommended!! ☺️💐
